3D BIM MODELING SERVICES

We request our clients to specify the discipline (Architecture, MEP, Structure), and share the appropriate inputs and specification as per the discipline. Our expert team of Revit modelers also help you choose the discipline as per your project goals.

For instance, you need to identify the potential clashes in the overall design. Then developing Architectural, Structural & MEP BIM 3D models is critical and highly recommended.

Since this section explains BIM modeling in general. You can read more about BIM modeling in each discipline using the links below:

We help you choose an appropriate BIM LOD (Level of Detail) as per your project requirements. If you already know your required BIM LOD for your project then our expert team will request for it along with the input information & files in step 3.

Our expert team of Revit modelers, Engineers & Architects review the inputs drawings and references that you provide us. We receive AutoCAD, PDF drawings, hand sketches, and point cloud data in Architectural, MEP & Structural discipline from our clients. 

If there is any missing detail in the input files, we will get in touch with you before we proceed with creating project parameters and BIM modeling.

At this step, we make sure that the required level of detail (LOD) of BIM 3D models is agreed, discipline(s) of the project is decided, graphical information is received and the volume of Revit models is defined, leaving no ambiguity in the scope of work.

Once the input files are reviewed, the assigned Revit modelers will create custom project parameters. These custom parameters are used for scheduling, sorting and filtering in a Revit modeling project. 

Using project parameters option in Revit, we insert a name to a project parameter, select a discipline (Architecture, MEP, Structure) and choose parameter type before BIM modeling. 

The parameter type includes: 

• Text
• Area
• Volume
• Currency
• Material
• Mass Density Information

By default, Revit sets ‘values are aligned per group type’ option, changing parameter value for the component in one category will modify the value of the corresponding component in all other occurrence of the same category.

Depending upon the project requirements, we change the settings to ‘value can vary by group instance’ if we want a particular value to be distinctive or accordant across components occurrences for effective Revit parametric modeling.

The assigned Revit modelers create a basic BIM 3D model, containing only geometrical information of the design elements. At this stage, we do not include color, texture or any other graphical information.  

The purpose of this basic Revit 3D model is to check if the parameters are defined correctly and to get approval from the client before adding further information to the basic Revit 3D model. 

We use this basic BIM 3D model as a reference for internal discussion and use its elements for next stage complex BIM modeling. 

Once the basic Revit 3D model is approved by our client, we add graphical information such as; complex textures, material details, meta-tags, rebar details (for structural model), components specification (for MEP), manufacturer and warranty details. 

BIM LOD (level of detail) is typically dependent upon your project’s requirements. To make it easier for our clients we follow the standard level of detail (LOD) for integrating appropriate level of detail to a Revit 3D model. 

Our expert BIM team reviews all the information integrated to the Revit 3D model including the custom project parameters. This process is conducted in two steps by our team: 

Revit modeler reviews the parameters, non-graphical and graphical information as required by our client for BIM modeling

BIM manager verifies that the information integrated to the BIM model is correct and precise before the BIM model is delivered to the client
